I have set up a nice big /Share directory on a separate HD, and would
like to create a document repository there accessible by all users. So

I don't mind reading tutorials and other docs, but at this point in my
Debian education, they need to be suitability simple. Any links to
such material would be much appreciated.

You could try the NewbieDOC wiki (documentation for newbies). There is
an article on users and groups -
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Manage_users_and_groups - which may get
you started.
Basically, you could put your users into a new group, give the group
ownership if the directory using chgrp, and give the permissions you
wish to the group on the directory group with chmod g+rwx.
Try the manual pages (eg "man chmod") and google search (eg for
"chmod"). When you have succeeded, you might consider documenting your
efforts on the NewbieDOC wiki. :)
